Buguese stood outside the mansion, studying it. While it may have once been prosperous, it was nearly as depressing as Mantid-sama's castle. The biggest difference was, this world still had a sun. He scowled at it hatefully. Why did the humans have what the Insectors couldn't?

::Approaches the mansion as well, freezing when she sees Buguese::

G'day, Buguese.

[He barely looks to acknowledge her]

Is there something you want?

[loverofthefrogs]

I see you're heading into the mansion.

Want to come with me? I'm going in to take a look around.

[must_know_why]

I was simply looking. But if I were to go inside, I would prefer to do so alone.

[loverofthefrogs]

Why's that?

[must_know_why]

Because unlike humans, I do not need the company of others. Someone like you should understand that.

[loverofthefrogs]

I'm not sure I understand.

Where I'm from, I had some ghoulfriends to hang with at least. Don't you have anyone to be around with?

[must_know_why]

I do not have friends. It is a human concept. For a monster, you act far too human.

[loverofthefrogs]

Well, I'm not sure if having friends is something only the normies can do.

I'm sure you've had someone you like being around at some point.

[must_know_why]

Insectors do not need to be around others. We are strong enough to rely on ourselves. That is something humans can not understand.

I am proud to say I have never had such a weakness.

[loverofthefrogs]

I'm not familiar with your kind, Buguese.

I've never known another Insector before.

[must_know_why]

That is because we do not belong in this world. But that does not matter. You must understand how terrible the ways of humans are.

[loverofthefrogs]

In a way, I do...

I don't exactly feel comfortable around them yet. Maybe they don't feel so good around me either.

[must_know_why]

Yes. They have all that they need, yet they still oppose we Insectors, who have nothing. The land we live in is more desolate then this mansion.

[loverofthefrogs]

What happened to your land, Buguese?

[must_know_why]

Our sunlight was stolen. All of the plant life died as a result. If not for Aqune, we would have no hope. And the humans even try to take her away.
